Project Manager - Mechanical

Permanent | Site‑Based at Hinkley Point C (HPC)

Lead the mechanical delivery of one of the UK’s most significant energy projects.

If you’re a mechanically‑minded project leader who thrives in complex environments, this is your chance to step into a high‑impact role at HPC — driving construction success on a project that will define the next generation of low‑carbon power.

The Opportunity:

You’ll take ownership of all mechanical construction activities on site, ensuring safe, efficient and high‑quality delivery from mobilisation through to mechanical completion and handover. This is a role for someone who excels in fast‑paced settings, knows how to integrate multiple disciplines, and brings a proactive, solutions‑focused mindset to daily project challenges.

What You’ll Lead:

• Developing execution plans, schedules and methodologies that keep the project moving.
• Coordinating manpower, materials, equipment and subcontractors to meet critical milestones.
• Managing installation, testing, reinstatement and completion activities across all mechanical packages.
• Driving compliance — HSE, PTW systems, QA/QC and industry standards.
• Collaborating with engineering, procurement and construction teams to ensure smooth, integrated delivery.
• Leading site teams, supporting safe working, and promoting a strong safety culture.
• Monitoring progress, resolving bottlenecks and implementing corrective actions where needed.
• Overseeing documentation, inspections and handover processes to ensure first‑time‑right delivery.
• Acting as the key point of contact for mechanical matters with clients, consultants and subcontractors.

 

What You Bring:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
• Strong background in mechanical construction delivery on major projects.
• Confident leadership, clear communication and firm decision‑making.
• A track record of delivering safely, on time and to the highest standards.

 

Why This Role?

Because HPC isn’t just another project — it’s a career‑defining opportunity to shape the UK’s future energy landscape while leading mechanical delivery at the highest level.
